Drinks & Cocktails with Lemon Zest
Lemon zest is typically used as a garnish, not only because it looks pretty, but because it contains aromatic oils that are commonly used to add lemon aroma to drinks.
When it comes to cocktails, lemon zest is one of the most common garnishes, so make sure to keep some around to make classic cocktails like the Vesper Martini, Cosmopolitan or French 75.
